IS THE NEW 2025 TOYOTA CAMRY AS GOOD AS A LEXUS? YOU'LL BE SURPRISED...

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Camry, particularly the XSE trim, has significantly raised the bar, offering a level of refinement and luxury that rivals its premium sibling, the Lexus ES. The reviewer highlights exceptional build quality with tight panel gaps and solid door feel, comparable to Lexus standards. While the paint finish and rear door materials don't quite match Lexus, the overall impression is one of premium execution. The hybrid powertrain is praised for its smoothness, responsiveness, and superior performance over the current ES hybrid, offering more horsepower and available AWD. The interior boasts a large 12-inch screen, physical climate controls, and advanced features like a Head-Up Display and 360 camera, surpassing some Lexus offerings. However, seat comfort is noted as a drawback compared to the ES, with the reviewer suggesting the LE trim's cloth seats might offer superior comfort. Despite minor criticisms, the Camry is lauded for its quiet ride, excellent handling, and impressive technology, making it a compelling value proposition that challenges the necessity of choosing a Lexus ES for many buyers.
